Windows ME with Kaspersky Anti-Virus--Frequent system hesitations??
I've got Windows ME with Kaspersky Anti-Virus as the virus protection
software. I had Norton Anti-virus up until a couple of months ago. Norton corrupted itself so badly that it had to be reinstalled every three months. I don't know what's causing this problem, but, I suspect it might be Kaspersky. Every time I press the [back] button to go to a previous page, my computer freezes for about 5 or 10 seconds -- then it lets go and goes to the previous page. I keep the security on my computer very tight. No site access allowed unless the site has been added to a customized privacy list. I use Adaware and Spybot to check for any unauthorized "lurkers". I completely scan my computer every week for viruses. I've checked for hidden software -- there are none. I've checked for viruses -- there are none. Does anyone else that's using Windows ME together with Kaspersky Anti- Virus have a frequent, brief hesitation that happens enough to want to through the entire computer out the window?? Anyone have any ideas on how I can find out what is slowing my computer down?? I use Process Explorer from Sysinternals. I do see KAV running in the background more frequently than I like. The idle process also seems to run more frequently than necessary -- I fail to see why the idle process should be running so often when I'm actually waiting for software to load or for websites to load... Any ideas?? Thanks. Barb |
